Moles, or melanocytic nevi, are common occurrences on almost everyone’s skin. People may have one or two, some have dozens. They’re usually flat and brown in color. There are three main types of moles. <\/span>Congenital moles <\/b>are those that people are born with, <\/span>acquired moles <\/b>appear as you age up to around 30 years old, and <\/span>atypical moles <\/b>are moles that look unusual and may or may not be dangerous.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You should never attempt to remove a mole at home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Always consult a dermatologist – the procedure is quick and mostly painless. If we remove a mole, we will send it off to the pathology lab for assessment under the microscope to ensure it is not dangerous. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][dsm_icon_list _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][dsm_icon_list_child text=”Most moles don’t need treatment, but you should see a dermatologist right away if you notice any change in color, size, or symptoms such as pain, itching, soreness, or bleeding.” use_icon=”off” image=”https:\/\/southernskiesdermatology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/checklist_icon.png” image_padding=”10px” image_max_width=”30px” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Roboto|500|||||||” text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”26px” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_padding=”||10px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”off|desktop” border_color_all_icon=”#000000″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/dsm_icon_list_child][dsm_icon_list_child text=”Most moles don’t need treatment, but you should see a dermatologist right away if you notice any change in color, size, or symptoms such as pain, itching, soreness, or bleeding.” use_icon=”off” image=”https:\/\/southernskiesdermatology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/checklist_icon.png” image_padding=”10px” image_max_width=”30px” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Roboto|500|||||||” text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”26px” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_padding=”||10px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”off|desktop” border_color_all_icon=”#000000″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/dsm_icon_list_child][\/dsm_icon_list][et_pb_button button_url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjQwNSJ9fQ==@” button_text=”Request Appointment” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _dynamic_attributes=”button_url” _module_preset=”9db9c67f-904b-4a50-875e-2c4346f4d38d” button_bg_color=”#0B61C7″ global_colors_info=”{}” button_text_color__hover=”#0B61C7″ button_bg_color__hover=”#FFD700″][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#0B61C7″ custom_padding=”50px|50px|50px|50px|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”20px|30px|30px|30px|false|false” custom_padding_phone=”20px|30px|30px|30px|false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]
